All I can say is, you guys are a heck of a lot smarter than me when it comes to this show. I've stayed with it, mostly because I've got so much time invested in it, but sometimes I really feel dumb when I come on message boards and read what others are saying/interpreting, etc.

I felt the same way at first. Then I started throwing out random theories from the back of my head. That's all anybody's got, I think.

I'm coming over to the Michael in the coffin view as well. His small obit is the key; it was the size of a local citizen's, not a famous Oceanic Six person.

Of course . . . . the body could be anyone. It could be one of the freighter people. All we really know is that it was someone Kate disliked, and who left no loved ones. I'm not putting much thought into the neighborhood theory, though I can't argue against it.

I still maintain it's Jin and Sun as the last two. They have to have their happy ending, right?

Something I've been thinking about, and haven't seen brought up: how do we know the Island is a benevolent thing that should be saved? There has been a lot of talk (mostly from Locke) about the island as benefactor, and as sacred place that should be saved. And maybe stuff like Dharma's experiments was ruining (or ruined) the island's eco balance, which Ben helped to try and bring back with the Dharma purge.

From the look of the Other who Ben met in the jungle after the purge (Alpert?), they may have been a band of "love the earth!" stoners who saw the island as a sacred thing. Maybe Jacob, the island's avatar, talked to Locke because Ben's more modern ways betrayed the island's ecosystem when he was supposed to lead the Others back to nature.

But now the island is simply out to survive, and Locke is its pawn. It has deserted him for now, maybe as a test or something. And how did all he Others get there, anyway? Will they have a flashback episode that is just "The Island"?

Aw, hell. I'm just throwing stuff at the wall. It will be interesting to see the show's current ideas continue to develop.

Why is Michael on the boat? Why does Michael do anything?

HE'S GOT TO SAVE HIS BOY!

(that is the one thing I absolutely hated about season 2, hearing that damn line over and over and over again)
